Meanwhile, back at the Vatican:

I guess that’s still a “no” to crusades to help them. But arming and intel would be a blessing
The Pope isn’t the only one delusional in the Vatican. They and most of Europe is beholden to the mistaken belief that dialog is an end into itself. Ecumenism is rife with it. If Catholicism is true and the fullness of God’s truth, all dialog should be directed to that understanding. Anything less is entertaining folly.
As I have pointed out in another post, the UN and the Nigerian government have been working to reduce the number of guns in Nigeria.
Consequently, and conveniently, it’s mostly the bad guys who have guns.
Thank God for the Second Amendment!
Protect the innocent, became let the lambs be slaughtered by wolves(?)
Part and parcel of too many bishops not being men who protect their flock… I guess.
It’s disgusting.
God bless the Nigerian Bishop.
Dialogue is impossible with people who have already made up their minds to enslave or kill you.
“Give us weapons”? Who’s “us“? Like TBO said, the muslim president of Nigeria has disarmed the Christian half of the population. According to the Nigerian Parochial Vicar of my parish, the faith of the Nigerian President incentivizes him to do nothing to stop this “agricultural dispute” between violent and heavily armed ISIS-affiliated Sunni muslim Fulani herdsmen and mostly Christian farmers (although about 1/3 of those killed are ‘less extreme’ Shia muslims)
Stephen E. Dalton is right, but I could add that dialogue is downright stupid with muslims because the sworn goal of Islam is to take over the world, and their prophet claims allah told him it’s a good idea to lie (in addition to murder, rape, kidnap and enslave the infidel) in order to accomplish this.
CAG, your point is well made. President Trump keeps proving that he knows a lot more than he says about most international issues, so I’m praying he will simply bypass the Nigerian gubmint (while still engaging in “dialogue”, of course), and see that weapons and supplies are delivered to the Christians who need them. There’s really nothing the Nigerian gubmint types can do that’s any worse than their current intentional obfuscation of the truth while Christians, mostly, are murdered almost daily.
Christopher Hitchens doesn’t get quoted a lot here but nevertheless…
